USN Installation
Installation instructions include:
• MCE IMC and PTC/PHC Controls
• Motion 3000ES Escalator Controls
• USN Power Connection
Note
After mounting USN components in your equipment, ensure that no serial, ethernet, or CAN
connections are made to the device. Only power should be connected during initial setup.
IMC, PTC, PHC Installation
The Universal Serial Network (USN) converts legacy MCE communication protocols to the lat-
est MCE monitoring, reporting, and building management compatible protocols. For IMC, only
the USN-BASE assembly and power transformer are required. For programmable (PTC/PHC)
controllers, one M2C assembly is required for each controller in addition to the USN-BASE
assembly and power transformer.

Mounting the Board Assemblies
1. Determine an appropriate location for the USN-BASE assembly. (Preferred location is
in the upper left quadrant of the control enclosure.)
2. Mount the board, facing outward, such that access to critical controller components is
not blocked.
3. For PTC/PHC programmable controllers, mount the M2C assembly near the USN-BASE
assembly. (For a duplex, mount an M2C assembly in each controller enclosure but just
one USN-BASE assembly in the enclosure of your choice.)
Motion 3000ES Installation
For Motion 3000ES, only the USN-BASE assembly is required. Special hinged stand-offs will
be provided to mount the USN-BASE (HC-MPU) board assembly.
Mounting the Board Assemblies
1. Determine an appropriate location for the USN-BASE assembly.
2. Mount the board, facing outward, such that access to critical controller components is
not blocked.
USN Power Connection, Elevators
Before the USN can be configured, it must be powered up. But, no communication connections,
serial, Ethernet, or CAN, should yet be attached.
1. Connect the provided leads to the power transformer.
2. Connect the power transformer leads to AC1/AC2 on the top right side of the USN-BASE
assembly.
3. Plug the power transformer into the AC receptacle in the controller. (Note: If alternate
outlet is used, power must be in phase with controller 110 VAC.)
Power Connection, Escalators
The power transformer is not required for Motion 3000ES escalator installations.
1. Using 18 AWG, white, teflon coated wires, connect HC-MPU, 16V1 to escalator board
EC-MCB, CL1 and HC-MPU, 16V2 to EC-MCB CH1.

Escalator Only
If you are not configuring an escalator, proceed to IP Setup.
An escalator connection has additional parameters that need to be configured. Please note:
each escalator must have its own unique lift number.
1. Place switch F7 in the up position. Using the keypad as described earlier, set and save:
• Job Name: Defines the job name displayed on the iMonitor Summary screen.
• Job Number: Defines the job number displayed on iMonitor Summary screen.
• Number of Escalators: Defines the number of escalators the USN will be monitoring on
the CAN bus.
• If only one escalator is to be connected to the USN, choose the 1 (AUTO) setting. This
setting assumes that only one escalator will be connected to the USN board and it will
automatically detect the lift number on the bus.
• If more than one escalator is on the bus the USN will connect to the first one it sees.
Since detection is automatic the Escalator Connection menu is not shown.
• Escalator Connection: The USN has the ability to group up to 4 escalators in a group. This
parameter maps the lift number that will be the first escalator in the group, second escala-
tor, and so on.
• Escalator Label: This two-character value will be displayed in iMonitor under the escalator
grouping. For example, you could set lift 2 to display as “E2”.
2. Proceed to IP Setup.
IP Setup
You may need to consult an IT person to find out the appropriate IP settings for your network.
With the F7 switch in the up position, set:
• IP Address
•SubnetMask
• Gateway Address
• Other options (MCE use only)
Important
• After defining network settings, you must reset the USN board by disconnect-
ing and reconnecting the IDC power connector.
